I've just ordered some of those so I should find out in a few days how they install. First thing I'm looking at is removing the cheesy looking wheels and replacing them with wood ones. I'd like to see them mounted through two small slots in the upper bout so that maybe 3/32" of the wheel protrudes. Naturally, in that case the mount would have to be fabricated as the uke was built. As an after market solution I can only think to mount it inside the sound hole, similar to the Fishman Matrix Infinity.
I'm pretty sure that those are designed to mount to the underside of a traditional pick guard on a jazz box. Like the set pictured here from Stew Mac:

I really like the look of the remote unit.
Wonder if it can be retrofit to an existing MiSi.
I think the remote control is a bad idea. It's bad enough to have to keep track of the MiSi power pack. The volume control can be mounted anywhere, limited only by your imagination.

How do you hook it up to an existing installation though?
I would have to agree with Chuck. That remote would be hisitory in no time. Having multiple Mi-Si powerpacks is a nice idea. Fortunately, one is included with each Mi-Si purchase. I think I have five of them now.
It appears that the solder points on the original Mi-Si trio needs to be attached to the volume control. Most likely a simple install once you decide on the volume control location. If your uke has a floating pickguard, you should be all set!

A very talented guitar player named Tuck Andress believes (and I agree with him) that your instrument should provide maximum signal output, and then let your pedal or amp shape the sound outside the instrument. The first thing he does with a guitar is to re-solder the pickup directly to the jack, bypassing the onboard tone and volume pots. He is a jazz guitarist looking for maximum expression. He just uses a volume pedal.
All that being said, I do like Chuck's idea of having some nice wood wheels just barely above the surface of the ukulele, I can see it now...
